Kyle Ford walks through customizing member profiles in Mighty Networks, including custom fields like favorite hike and profession, badges and streaks, and an AI feature that auto-generates About Me text.
Member profiles are the heart and soul of your community and the way members can express themselves as well as connect with others like them. If I go to the upper right corner here, I'm signed in as host Elisa. You'll see the basic information here. There's customizable imagery at the top and a profile photo and I'll show you how to change those in a second. Some basic information. If you've earned any badges, those will appear here. And then here's your kind of meat and potatoes area about me, which we'll fill out in a second, as well as any custom profile fields that you've set up. So in here for this case, we've done things like favorite hike profession, hiking gear. If you've turned on gamification features like recognitions or streaks, those will appear here so people can see how you've been recognized. If you're an ambassador on the network, if that's turned on, that will appear here who you've referred as well, as well as any other activity that's visible to others on the network. So if I click edit here, here I am. I can change this image by clicking this adjustment button. Same with my profile photo. I can fill out some basic information for about me. We've added a feature if you turn this on called Profile Assist. So if I hit get me started and I say what motivated me to join this love of hiking, what's something I can offer? Great equipment tips and something unique about me. I hiked Mount Whitney so that's great. I hit suggest and you'll notice the AI is telling you it's working on it. And then here we are. It has generated an about me in just a second. You can of course freely edit this or erase it and try it again, but a great way to get people to fill out their profiles easily. If you have personal links to social media or a website, you can add that here as well. And then when you choose from profile questions that you might have set up, let's say I like camping tents. Those are important to me. I've set my location. If I want to find people near me or others to find me and my time zone, I'll hit save and you'll notice that once I've filled it out, there it goes. You'll notice once I fill it out that anything that is an option here for multiple choice like camping tent, I can click through and see others that also think camping tents are the best hiking gear. So you can find others on the network like you in seconds through custom profile fields, which is great as I use the network more and overlap with others. We also show a version of the People Explorer on this page that you can see people sort of with similar interests related to you. So a great way to also just browse across the network. And you can do this suggest to your members as part of your welcome checklist, potentially to fill out their profiles, suggest that they use the AI features for about me and you're off to the races.
